The Hannibal reunion was fun to watch. No S4 announcement, but seeing the cast and crew interact was adorable.
... but of course, because there is no fandom that is immune to stupid people finding something to bitch about: there are some "fans" shrieking that Bryan Fuller has committed the cardinal sin of QUEERBAITING. Because he said that Will Graham is a heterosexual man, but that sexuality is fluid, and exploring changes would be driven by discussion about the characters with Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen. That the characters' arc is a love story, but that sexuality is fluid.
Which makes sense! Which is true! But because there wasn't a statement along the lines of "Will and Hannibal are going to have Teh Sex, that's how to show they're really in love", OMG QUEERBAITING.

You would think people who are fans of a show where characters' behaviors, beliefs, and motivations are constantly subtly shifting would understand that the same is true for sexuality. YOU WOULD THINK.
I haven't waded into The Discourse about this on Twitter or Tumblr because 1) I've got other things I should be doing with my time, and 2) there are already posts that anyone who is cis, het, or OLD is incapable of understanding and therefore should not speak. Whatever, I'll be over here reading fanfic.

In other news, on Saturday my left leg had a second of feeling like it wasn't going to support me, and my back has felt painful and delicate since. Oh, and migraines. I ended up tapping out of work today when it became obvious that I was going to need meds that would make me super fuzzy. I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow.
